The list of women who've registered multiple triple-doubles in a single season in the WNBA isn't long, but a new name has just been added. The 2024 number-one overall pick Caitlin Clark registered 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in the Indiana Fever's victory over the LA Sparks on Wednesday.
This marks the second game this season wherein Clark registered a triple-double. She joins a small but elite group of women who have accomplished the same feat. Here are five WNBA players who recorded multiple triple-doubles in a single season.
5 elite WNBA players who have logged multiple triple-doubles in a season
#1 Alyssa Thomas
Trending
Alyssa Thomas is best known for being the WNBA's very own triple-double machine. She holds the record for the most triple-doubles in the league with 10 and is also the record holder for most triple-doubles in a single season with six.
The latter record was set by the Connecticut Sun forward in 2023. Furthermore, she is the only player to record multiple triple-doubles in consecutive seasons. Starting in 2022, then her record-setting 2023 season, followed by this year, where she already has two so far.
#2 Courtney Williams
Courtney Williams is more of a journeywoman than a cornerstone star, having already played for five different teams in nine seasons. She possesses the skills to be a do-it-all type of player, which she proved by being one of the few players to record multiple triple-doubles in a season.
Williams accomplished this feat in 2023 when she recorded two. The first one was against the LA Sparks, where she logged 12 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists. The second one was in her team's last regular season game that year, where she recorded 23 points, 16 boards and 13 dimes.
#3 Sabrina Ionescu
There is no doubt that Sabrina Ionescu is one of the league's budding superstars. The 2020 first-overall pick has already been selected to three All-Star teams and has grown into an MVP-caliber talent.
One of the highlights of Ionescu's young career is her 2022 season, where she joined this short list of women by recording two triple-doubles. Those two triple-doubles make up half of the triple-doubles she has so far. In total, she has four, having logged one in 2021 and another in 2023.
#4 Candace Parker
Candace Parker retired from the WNBA as one of the most decorated players. Among her accomplishments are three championships, two regular-season MVPs (2008, 2013) and a Defensive Player of the Year award (2020).
During her penultimate season (2022), she also managed to record multiple triple-doubles. That year, she recorded two of the three that she had in her career. Her other one was recorded in 2017.
#5 Caitlin Clark
In just her first season in the WNBA, it is safe to say that Caitlin Clark has been living up to the hype. She's already set a handful of records including the only rookie to ever record a triple-double.
In fact, she's already recorded two in her maiden season in the league. Her first one was against the New York Liberty on Jul. 6 (19 pts, 12 rebs, 13 asts), followed by her 24-10-10 against the Sparks on Wednesday.
In only her first year, the Indiana Fever rookie is already one away from tying Candace Parker's record.
